Homeschool Living Books We've Loved: Fall Check-In

These are some amazing books we have read and finished so far this fall. These books are all found in our Heart of Dakota curriculum which is a Charlotte Mason inspired, literature based homeschool curriculum. All of these books have been such a delight to read and enjoy in our home. Some have been read aloud while others were read by my kids themselves; some were read during our lesson time in the mornings while others were read in the evenings before bed.
Books mentioned:
A Family Apart
Riding Freedom
By the Great Horn Spoon (by the way I meant they sailed around the tip of South America, not Africa ;)
Gone Away Lake
George Washington
The Trumpet of the Swan
The Twenty-One Balloons
Charlotte's Web
Life in the Great Ice Age (sequel= Uncovering the Mysterious Woolly Mammoth)
The True Story of Noah's Ark

One Small Square Arctic Tundra
Archimedes and The Door of Science
Streams of History: Ancient Greece
City: A Story of Roman Planning and Construction
Cleopatra
Heart of Dakota: heartofdakota....

Thank you for sharing. We will be starting homeschooling next year with our oldest (5y) and I am definitely leaning toward a more Charlotte Mason Method style of teaching. I love reading aloud and am really loving your book lists!

You’re welcome! I can’t imagine our homeschool without all our living books. The Charlotte Mason style of education has been such a blessing to us. I hope you enjoy it as we have😊

Hi! It sounds like all of your children listened in to the books regardless of which guide they were in, is that right? HOD sounds and looks so good but rubbing multiple guides seems like a lot of reading and a lot of things to check off the list. Can you provide any feedback on that?

@@ambergarrett3301 Hi! My kids have grown so much in independence over the years because of their Heart of Dakota guides. They have certain times in the morning when they will meet with me individually and while I’m working with one (or two) on teacher directed subjects the others are away working on independent subjects. We kind of work through a rotation of time with mom and independent work time. There is much more reading aloud and teacher directed work in the younger years but as your kids get older they take on more of the reading themselves which frees you up to work with the younger kids while you know the older ones are still engaged in their own learning. I run three guides and I think it’s completely doable with a good routine in place.

These books look so fun. I’m going to have to try some of them. We love the EB white books as well. Thanks for sharing. Just subscribed. I also have a channel mainly about homeschooling and would love to be friends and connect here!
